AUTHORITY AND SCOPE OF DUTIES
The Air Quality Compliance Advisory Committee ( Laws 1988, Chapter 252,
Section 15 · ) was established asa means of monitoring compliance with state air
quality laws. The current committee is actually a variation on the Committee
on Air Quality Compliance ( Laws 1987, Chapter 365, Section 27') which was part
of Senate Bill 1360 from 1987. The legislation establishing the original
committee was repealed ( Laws 1988, Chapter 252, Section 12 · ) because lawmakers
wanted to place the provision in statute ( A. R. S. § 49- 403 · ) rather than session
law as it had formerly appeared. The Committee's scope was also broadened so
that it now monitors compliance with all requirements under the 1988 air quality
legislation, rather than just those areas dealing with air pollution control.
Represented on the Committee are the ~ tate Legislature, the Maricopa and Pima
County Boards of Supervisors, the Phoenix and Tucson City Councils, the Phoenix
and Tucson Chambers of Commerce, the Department of Environmental Quality, and
the Governor, who appoints three members to the Committee.
The Air Quality Compliance Advisory Committee is repealed from and after
November 1, 1992 ( Laws 1988, Chapter 252, Section 16 · ). The duties of the
Committee are:
1. to monitor the compliance of this state and cities, towns and
counties of this state with the requirements of this chapter dealing
with air quality;
2. to develop a plan for business to adjust the work schedules of
employees in order to reduce the level of carbon monoxide ( CO)
concentrations caused by vehicular travel;
3. to evaluate the reports submitted pursuant to Sections 49- 404 · · and
49- 553 · , take public testimony and receive written comments on such
reports;
See appendix A.
A. R. S. § 49- 404 was repealed by Laws 1988, Ch 252, Sec. 16, par. 2.
4. to prepare a report to both houses of the Legislature. The report
shall include recommendations for any changes needed in the air
quality legislation.
Legislative staff must submit a report containing the number and nature
of complaints received regarding the Vehicle Emissions Inspection ( VEl) Program.'
COMMITTEE ACTIVITY
The Committee met once, on November 28, 1989, and received reports from
various agencies and industry spokespersons regarding compliance with state air
quality statutes. z The following agencies reported to the Committee:
Depar. tment of Environmental Quality ( DEQ)
DEQ distributed its annual briefing book, Reports to the Legislature3 which
highlights the Department's responsibilities under HB 2206, enacted in 1988.
William Watson, Manager of the Vehicle Emissions Section of the Office of
Air Quality for the DEQ, testified that calls related to the oxygenated fuels
program are down to seven per day from the 217 per day that were coming in at
the beginning of the program. Watson also said that, due to the oxygenated fuels
program, CO emissions are down by 20 percent. However, he added that nitrogen
oxide ( NO~) emissions will increase slightly from the use of oxygenated fuels.
A study prepared for the DEQ revealed several impediments to annual tailpipe
testing for NO~. The Department called for additional study before mandating
annual NO~ testing.
Ken Evans, Manager of the Air Quality Evaluation Unit of the DEQ, addressed

the subject of expanding the VEl program boundaries. The DEQ and the Arizona
Department of Transportation ( ADOT) conducted traffic surveys last winter to
determine the benefits of expanding the boundaries of the program. Their report
concluded that expanding the boundaries would result in immeasurable reductions
in CO and ozone pollution.
Regarding the effectiveness of the current VEl program, Watson told
Committee members that the implementation of the new loaded mode test has
resulted in failure patterns among certain models. Efforts are underway to get
makers of pattern- case failure vehicles to recall the failing vehicles so that
they may be repaired at no cost to the owners.
The Department reported progress in researching the air quality benefits
of alternative fuels and Reid Vapor Pressure controls.
The cost- benefit analysis required by A. R. S. § 49- SS3. A. S4 will be completed
by December, 1989.
Ken Evans informed the Committee that the only exceedance so far reported
during this CO season occurred recently. Most violations occur in the month of
October. According to Evans, the most effective tool for reducing CO violations
is to reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled.
In other reports, the DEQ said that " no installation of new traffic flow
improvement monitors would result in a lower number of violations" and, in
reference to the Department's toxic emissions analysis, Watson said that while
oxygenated fuels can reduce tailpipe emissions of benzene, aldehyde emissions
tend to increase with their use.
In closing, DEQ responded to co- chairman Jack B. Jewett's request to give
an overview of the procedure the Department took in selecting Gordon- Darby Inc.
4 See appendix A.

as the next VEl program contractor. Jewett asked whether a performance bond was
requi red of Gordon- Darby. Watson answered that a performance bond was not
required in the contract, but that the contractor would have to pay stiff daily
penalties for nonperformance. Representative Peter Goudinoff questioned Gordon­Darby's
ability to enter the contract at such a reduced price and then to promise
additional services. Watson said that Gordon- Darby uses modern technology which
would allow them to operate the program for less. Randy Wood, Director of DEQ,
and member of the Committee, added that Hamilton Test Systems, the current VEl
contractor, charges what they have to charge in order to support their
te€ hnology.
Arizona Department of Transportation ( ADaT)
Charl es Mi 11 er, Di rector of ADaT, summari zed the fi nd i ngs of the ADOT
Alternative Fuels Stud y5 required by A. R. S. § 49- 404. Miller said that there were
no reports of disintegrated parts or other fuel- related damage. ADOT found the
fuels to be readily available and at an insignificant increase in cost. The
Department finished its test this year with 79 of the original 90 vehicles. Some
vehicles were dropped from the study due to damage from accidents, testing
errors, etc. The vehicles were emissions tested through the state VEl program
operated by Hamilton Test Systems. The ADaT study reported only marginal
reductions in CO. However, Miller emphasized that ADaT's results do not conflict
with the DEQ's tests findings which show a 20% reduction in CO. He said that
the two agencies used two different processes. The Federal Testing Procedure
( FTP) used by the DEQ is much more rigorous than the state VEl test.

Maricopa Association of Governments ( MAG)
Lindy Bauer, Envi ronmenta1 Programs Coordi nator for MAG, di scussed the
status report on the three air quality plans, future MAG activities, and the most
recent air quality lawsuit.
Bauer said that MAG now bel ieves that the 22 percent reduction in CO
targeted for 1991 by the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) was " overly
optimistic." Though overall growth in the region has slowed, the number of
vehicle miles traveled has increased. The EPA approved the MAG CO plan on August
la, 1988, and said that the measures in the plan would allow us to maintain
curr. ent levels for 10 years.
According to Bauer, the latest air quality lawsuit attacks the EPA for
failing to consider the increase in the vehicle miles traveled in the MAG region
when approving the plan. Also, the delay in freeway construction may impact the
la- year maintenance plan for CO. The cities of Tucson and Phoenix are brought
under fire for neglecting to implement plans for transit, including increasing
the number of buses in their systems.
Bauer reported that the ozone plan was submitted in July, 1987, with no
commitment for Stage II Vapor Recovery. MAG has received a State Implementation
Plan ( SIP) call to prepare a new ozone plan two years after EPA finalizes the
proposed 1987 CO and ozone policy. To date, EPA has not gone final with the
ozone policy. The current status of the policy is unknown. According to Bauer,
the most difficult problem for MAG to work with is the particulate problem. A
34.4 percent reduction in PM- 10 emissions is needed by 1992 in order to attain
the particulate standard.
MAG's future activities include working with Maricopa County on its Trip
Reduction Ordinance ( TRO), the Brown Cloud Study, and updating the MAG Freeway
- 5 -
Plan.
In closing, Bauer informed Committee members that the federal government
is now considering a requirement that California's new car emissions standards
be applied to the entire country. These standards would be beneficial to the
carbon monoxide and ozone problem in Maricopa County.
Weights and Measures
In revi ewi ng the fi rst few weeks of the oxygenated fuel s program Di ck
Wolfe, Deputy Director of Weights and Measures, said state officials should have
encouraged the industry to make an earlier transition to the new fuels. The
Department reported 48 stop sale orders and 32 removal orders so far in the
program. Despite these problems, Wolfe said that compliance is high. He noted
that the majors have made smoother transitions and committed fewer violations
than their independent competitors. Wolfe provided Committee members with a copy
of Weights and Measures' Guidelines for Use and Sale of Motor Fuels and Petroleum
Products. 6
Arizona Petroleum Resources Group
Charles T. Stevens, · representing the Arizona Petroleum Resources Group,
a lobby comprised of the major oil companies marketing in Arizona, praised what
he called " a successful program." Stevens said that only a few start- up problems
were encountered in the initial weeks of the program. He explained that some
companies are blending the oxygenate with the fuel in California and shipping
it here while others are shipping the oxygenate and the neat gas to Arizona to
be either splash- blended or in- line blended here. The major oil companies did
not offer any suggestions for improving the legislation.

Atlantic Richfield Company ( ARCO)
Jim White, Manager of ARCO's Environmental Legislation and Regulation
division, spoke on his company's experience with the oxygenated fuels program
thus far. ARCO had received no fuel- related complaints during the two weeks
preceding the meeting of the Air Quality Compliance Advisory Committee and
reported no serious fuel- related problems to date. White said that ARCO remains
concerned over the negative press that is given to ethanol; he added that there
seems to be a misperception that one cannot switch from one oxygenate to another.
Pima Association of Governments ( PAG)
Hank Eyrich, Physical Planning Manag'er for PAG, gave an update on PAG's
air quality compliance programs. 7 Eyrich said that the most effective strategies
have been the expansion and strengthening of the VEl program and the
implementation of a travel reduction ordinance ( TRO). Pima County is marginal
in ozone and particulate pollution. Eyrich noted that PM- 10 is very difficult
to model.
Pima County
Marian Slavin, Travel Reduction Program Manager for Pima County, discussed
the Pima County TRO. 8 The DEQ provides about $ 250,000 in funds to the TRO. The
County reports that 120 major employers are involved with 90,000 employees at
154 sites. According to Slavin, 23 plans have been approved by the Travel
Reduction Program Task Force and have been sent for review by the lead agency.
Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce
According to Dan Cavanagh, Group Vice President of the Tucson Metropolitan
Chamber of Commerce, some complaints were lodged regarding the scope of the

Travel Reduction Program; however, he added that many businesses with under 100
employees participated voluntarily.
Maricopa County
Harvel Alishouse, Air Quality Advisor to the Maricopa County Department
of Publ ic Health, introduced the Maricopa County TRO program. According to
Alishouse, 52.5 million miles are traveled daily in the Valley. He said that
the plans of major employees are the first to be approved. Alishouse introduced
Suzanne Pfi ster of the Reg iona1 Pub1i c Transportat ion Authori ty, the
subcontractor of the program, to outline the details of the TRO.
Regional Publ ic Transportation Authority · ( RPTAl
Suzanne Pfister, Manager of Community Affairs, presented an update on the
TRO and the Clean Air Campaign. 9 RPTA's function is to provide technical and
administrative support to the County for its TRO program. Pfister said that
about 180,00 employees are represented in the program now. For every dollar
spent from the Air Quality fund, seven dollars were donated. One hundred and
forty- two thousand people took advantage of the free bus day October 18, 1989;
average ridership is 93,000 per day. The free bus day cost about 550,000 and
was funded by part of a grant from DEQ. The RPTA noted a 37 percent increase
in participation in the Clean Air Campaign this year, as well as a 97 percent
awareness rate.
Regarding the TRO, Pfister said that all businesses with 500 or more
employees have completed the survey process. One hundred and fifty employers
with 200- 400 employees are currently being surveyed.

perception of the TRO program. Hurst reported a varied response from the
industries. While large employers have been responsive, many of the smaller
employers have been reluctant. Hurst said that the Task Force's major goal is
to get smaller employers to work together more.

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
RE: Complaints on Vehicle Emissions Program
TO: Ken Heaton, Transportation Analyst
House of Representatives ,
FROM: William E. Watson, ManagerJt~ iU.~'
Vehicle Emissions Section t ~
Office of Air Quality
This information is submitted in response to your request to
Nancy Wrona dated November 22, 1989.
Another observation is that we receive complaints about unprofes­sional
discourteous behavior on the part of Hamilton Test Systems'
personnel. Again, these can be grouped into a minimum of two
categories of those who pass or fail the test. Most of the com­plaints
are associated with those who fail the test. A summary
of this activity is listed below:
Our records indicate that we receive approximately one complaint
per day on the average. However, many of these complaints are
associated with people who fail the emissions test for various
reasons and believe that the failure was an incorrect decision.
We often determine that the fail decision was accurate and after
obtaining additional information on the subject, explain this
to the caller.

I am pleased to provide the attached reports, which are being
submitted in accordance with provisions of HB 2206, enacted in
1988. That Bill required the Department to report annually to the
Legislature on seven issues related to urban air pollution. This
is the second installment on these reports, providing an update
over those submitted last year and an overview of our current state
of knowledge for the respective topics, as summarized below.
Wherever possible, we have provided a description of our plans for
future research, where appropriate.

uncertainties exist about the proper loaded test
procedure for pass/ fail standards;
NOx Feasibility:
The report reviews relevant testing programs in other
states, discusses the status of Federal new car standards
for NOx, and makes recommendations for future state
policy. Consistent with last year's reports, this one
documents several impediments to the implementation of
an annual tailpipe test for NOx:
This report was prepared under contract with Energy and
Environmental Analysis, Inc. The consultant has reviewed
the " benefits, test methods and feasibility" of requiring
emissions testing for diesel powered vehicles in general
and the options for testing gasoline and diesel powered
vehicles for nitrogen oxide ( NOx) emissions. NOx
emissions are of concern as they contribute to ozone
formation.

The repair industry is relatively uninformed about
the causes of high NOx emissions and types of
appropriate repairs, requiring considerable
training;
Accurate diagnoses and repair would require each
vehicle repair facility to invest over $ 10,000 in
a dynamometer and other equipment.
Expansion of I & M Area: A. R. S. § 49- 553. A. 2
This report provides an assessment of the expected
benefits of expanding the Vehicle Emissions Inspection
Program boundaries, based on traffic surveys conducted
last winter by ADEQ and ADOT. The report concludes that
expanding test boundaries to contiguous areas would
produce immeasurably small cuts in carbon monoxide and
ozone pollution.
I & M Effectiveness: A. R. S. § 49- 553. A. 3
This report, prepared by Energy and Environmental
Analysis, Inc. under contract, provides an in- depth
analysis of the benefits of the Vehicle Emission
Inspections program. As part of the analysis, EEA
examined the benefits of the new loaded mode test, and
the implications of the discovery that several models and
makes fail this test in disproportionate numbers. Nine
of the twelve failing vehicle families have already been
SUbject to an EPA recall for failure of emissions control
systems. The report concludes that these high failure
rates show that these vehicles were not repaired
properly. Because Arizona's " tailpipe" test identifies
these vehicles, the loaded test is effective in
ide~ tifying high polluters.
Air Quality Effects of the Arizona oxygenated Fuels
Program and Reid Vapor Pressure: A. R. S. § 49- 553. A. 4
This report discusses the current status of the new ADEQ
Vehicle Emissions Research Program and explains the
research design in use for assessing the impact of
oxygenated fuels on automobile emissions. Background
information on the issue of reducing gasoline volatility
or RVP standards as air quality strategy is also
provided.

Cost Benefit: A. R. S. § 49- 553. A. 5
The report submitted to the Legislature last year
determined that cost- benefit analysis would be very
expensive to perform and would not yield results useful
to policy makers. The Department, in its presentation
to the Air Quality Compliance Committee, suggested that
cost- effectiveness analysis would be a less expensive and
more beneficial approach to the question posed by the
Legislature. This suggestion was well received, and the
Department proceeded with a cost- effectiveness study.
Regretfully, we have been unable to complete this report
in time for this submittal. A draft report containing
cost effectiveness analysis for the vehicle emissions
program, oxygenated fuels, voluntary no- drive days, and
trip reduction programs will be completed by October 1,
1989. A final report including cost effectiveness
analysis for all carbon monoxide reduction programs
contained in A. R. S., Title 49, Chapter 3 will be
completed by December, 1989. This study is being
prepared under a contract with the U of A Center for
Business and Economic Research.
Causes of Violations at Monitors: A. R. S. § 49- 553. A. 6
This report provides an overview of Arizona Air Quality
Monitoring System and its relationship to the EPA
prescribed modeling. The relationship of local traffic
patterns to carbon monoxide violations is explained, and
anticipated ADEQ analysis of violation patterns is
discussed. Consistent with last year I s study, this
report documents that high carbon monoxide levels
represent a regional air quality problem. Furthermore,
no installation of new traffic flow improvement monitors
would result in lower number of violations.
The 1990 report may be a slightly expanded discussion or
may need to address new issues raised by the legislature.
Toxic Emissions Analysis: A. R. S. § 49- 553. B
This report is a comprehensive review of current research
on vehicular toxic emissions conducted throughout the
country. Initial conversations with EPA and engineering
consultants suggest that this type of research is in its
infancy at the national level and may be difficult to
conduct at the new ADEQ Emissions Research Lab. This
report also provides recommendations for conducting the
research at the DEQ Vehicle Emissions Research facility.
3
The report includes research showing that the use of
oxygenated fuel can reduce tailpipe emissions of benzene,
a known cancer causing compound. At the same time, the
use of these fuels will likely increase tailpipe
emissions of aldehydes, another carcinogen.
We expect to work closely with the Legislature and the Air Quality
Compliance Advisory Committee to ensure that our research will
provide the information you need for future policy decisions. We
would be pleased to have the comments or suggestions for future
reports, or to brief you on these issues.
Sincerely,

ADOT ALTERNATIVE r~ ELS FLEET -- EMISSION TEST PROGRAM
Phoenix, Arizona 85008
The Departmellt of ElIviroNPUlItal Quality is AlI EqW41 OpporrwlIity AffirmlJtive Actioll Employer.
An increas ing popu lat ion ( both human and vehicle) and corrcs pond lng
increases in various environmental pollutants has prompted the State of
Arizona to enact legislation establishing controls and mandating
research aimed at abatement. HE 2115 and SB 1360 mandated an
alternative- fuels fleet study to be performed by the Arizona De9artment
of Transportation ( ADOT), and HB 2206 mandated a vehicle emissions
study of a representative portion of the ADOT fleet to be performed by
the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality ( ADEQ).
By Frank W. Cox
October 24, 1989
The ADOT vehicle fleet was put into service in October of 1987 using
unleaded gasoline to gather baseline performance and I& M emission data.
In January of 1988 the use of the baseline gasoline was discontinued
and opera tion on the var ious al ternat ive fuels began. In February of
1989, after thirteen months of operation on the alternative fuels, the
ADEQ Emiss ions Research Laboratory ( ERL) began tes ting selected ADOT
fleet vehicles to determine' the effect, if any, of the alternative
fuels on evaporative and exhaust emissions as compared to these
emissions generated by the use of unleaded gasoline.
ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
This report contains the summarized data obtained from the ERL testing
and discussions of this data and the test methods.
The tes t vehicle fleet is listed in Table 1. The only vehicle type
included in the ADOT fleet which was not tested was the 1984 Chevrolet
510 pickup. This vehicle type was omitted from the test fleet because
of its s imilarity to the 1983 Chevrolet S10 pickup. In order to
directly compare fuel effects, vehicles 1 thru 5 were tested wi th
unleaded gasoline and two discreet oxygenated fuels, one containing
methyl tertiarybutyl ether ( MTBE) and the other containing ethanol
( EtOH) . Vehicle 6 was a gasoline/ CNG ( compressed na tural gas) dual­fueled
vehicle and was tested only with these two fuels ( no oxygenated
fuel subs t i tutcd for the gasoline). Vehicle 7 had been converted to
liquid petroleum gas ( LPG), was fuel dedicated, and could not be tested
with other fuels. The remaining vehicle ( 8) was tested with unleaded
gasoline and wi th a third oxygenated fuel containing methanol ( MeOH).
Vehic les 6, 7, and 8 were, with respect to emiss ion control sys tern and
to engine size and configuration, similar to vehicles 5,4, and J,
respectively.

Fuel samples were taken from the storage tanks at the ADOT fueling
depots. The criterion for acceptance for testing was that the RVPs of
the liquid fuels be similar. Fuels, 1,2, and 3 were judged to be
acceptable, but the. vapor pressure of the " Oxinol" blend was too low.
The entire supplies of fuels 1,2, and 3 were taken as single batches of
the individual fuels directly from the ADOT storage tanks into 55­gallon
drums and immediately sealed. The storage tanks from which the
tes t fuels were taken were the same as those from which the original
samples were obtained. The " Oxinol" test fuel was acquired after the
ADOT took delivery of a new batch. The vapor pressure of this fuel was
within the desired range.
Upon delivery, each vehicle fuel tank was removed and a drain line and
thermocouple were installed. The drain line was extended to the lowest
point of the tank and the thermocouple to the midpoint between the tank
bottom and the fuel surface at the 40% nominal fuel tank volume level.
Each tank was then pressurized to 3 psi air to ensure vapor tightness
and reinstalled on the vehicle.
Each vehicle was checked for engine vacuum leaks and faulty spark plugs
and spark plug wires. These were the only maintenance items replaced
when found to be faulty. Engine operatinq parameters were also checked
and, excepting the LPG and CNG vehicles, set to factory specifications.
Vehicle preparation was completed with checks of the exhaust system and
installed fuel tank for leaks. This was accomplished with the
instrument bench hydrocarbon analyzer by attaching a 3- port valve and
sniff line between the sample inlet and the analyzer.

At the end of testing, the thermocouple was removed from the fuel tank
and the fittings installed for the thermocouple and drain line were
capped.
With three exceptions, to be discussed below, the Federal Test
Procedure ( FTP) was used for all tests. The details of the procedure
are given in the Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR) Title 40, Part 86,
Subpart B. This reference also gives the details of the required
equipment, calibrations, and conditions.
One departure from the FTP concerned the ambient test temperature
limits. The FTP requires that the temperature to which the vehicle and
tes t equipmen t are exposed be main tained wi thin the 1 imi ts, 68 ° F to
86° F. Since the available test fuels were winter grade ( vapor
pressures at the lower end of volatility class D), the decision was
made tc test at lower than the specified ambient temperature range~ An
ambien t temperature range of 51 ° F to. 6.9 ° F was chosen ( a - 17 ° F offset
from the FTP) because 1. it was believed to be the lowest feas ible
range at which the facility could be maintained, 2. this range more
nearly simulates winter temperatures in Maricopa county, and 3. the
FTP specified temperatures would result in unrealistic canister loading
during the pretest soak period.
The diurnal ( or heat build) evaporative ( SHED) test is intended to
measure evaporative losses during a simulated diurnal ( daily)
temperature rise. Testing at lower ambient temperatures required that
the temperature range for the fuel heat build also be lowered.
Accordingly, this range was lowered 17° F from the FTP to 43° F- 67° F.
The FTP heat build ramp was maintained.
Preceding the 12- 36 hour soak period prior to testing, the FTP
stipulates that the fuel tank be drained, the vehicle refueled to the
required volume, and then driven on the dynomometer according to the
Urban Dynomometer Driving Schedule ( UDDS) and at the vehicle test
weight and horsepower. The UDDS is required within one hour of
refueling. The FTP allows up to three additional preconditioning
driving cycles, each preceded by a one hour soak period.
Since each ADOT test fuel was significantly different from the others,
and to minimize memory effects, a three- driving- cycle schedule was
adopted for preconditioning when the test fuel was different from the
preceding test. For back- to- back tests with the same fuel, the single
preconditioning driving cycle was used. The three- driving- cycle
schedule was:
1. drain and refuel
2. UDDS driving cycle within one hour of refueling
3. ten minute soak
4. UDDS driving cycle
S. one hour soak
6. drain and refuel
7. UDDS driving cycle.
- 3-
The soak period between the first and second driving cycles was reduced
to ten minutes to conserve time and the extra refueling was included as
an added measure to minimize memory effects of the previous fuel.
The fuel sequence was random beginning or ending the test series with
no particular fuel. For the first test, however, each vehicle was
preconditioned using the three- driving- cycle schedule.
At leas t two tes ts were performed wi th each vehicle / fuel couple. A
third test was performed when agreement between the duplicate tests was
judged to be inadequa te or when FTP limits were exceeded to a po in t
considered to be capable of producing significant effects on test data.
Results and Discussions
The resul ts of the emiss ions tes t program are presen ted in Table 2.
Except ing the SHED emiss ions for vehicle B545 in the eNG mode, each
emission value is the arithmetic average of at least duplicate tests,
and in some cases, triplicate tests. The number of vehicles was small
and little effort was exerted to verify mechanical condition or
emission control functionality. Therefore, no statistical evaluation
has been performed to determine the significance of data magnitude or
relativity. This discussion is based upon a general interpretation of
the data and the resulting conclusions reflect the opinion of the
author.
Evaporative emissions are primarily effected by 1. test temperature
( and temperature ramp), 2. fuel composition and volatility, 3. the
type and condition of the fuel handling system, and 4. the
configuration and condition of the evaporative emission controls.
Since both ambient and heat build tempera tures were lowered by 17 0 F
from the FTP, the SHED data can only be internally compared. The
magnitude of the evaporative emissions is significant only for
comparison of the various fuels with a single vehicle. Relative data
can, however, be compared across the vehicle/ fuel matrix. The fuel
vapor pressures given previously in this report would lead to a
tentative conclusion that the evaporative emissions from the gasoline
should be lower than from the al terna tive liquid fuels. The da ta,
however, do not support this conclusion. At face value, the data
indicate that essentially equivalent vapors are emitted from the MTBE
fuel as compared to gasoline and lower levels are emitted from the EtOH
fuel.
A number of parameters which influence evaporative emissions must be
considered. First, RVP is a measure of volatility at 100 0 F and the
rate of vapor pressure change as a function of temperature is not known
for the test fuels. In add it ion, the his tory and condition of the
control canisters is not known, and the average replicate variation of
all vehicle/ fuel couples was about 20%, a variability consistent with
literature values. These uncertainties leave little doubt that no
conclusion can be drawn with respect to the effect of fuel composition
upon evaporative emissions.

The repeatability of the exhaust measurements was much better than that
for evaporative emissions. The average replicate variations for all
vehicle/ fuel couples were about 8.5% for hydrocarbons, 7.0% for
ni trogen oxides, and 12.5% for carbon monoxide. Actual fuel vapor
pressure and vapor control canister condition cannot be ignored as
exhaust emission variables, but their effects should be less prominent
with respect to exhaust emissions as compared to evaporative emissions.
For the group of five vehicles tested with gasoline, MTBE, and EtOH
fuels: the emission trends for the oxygenated fuels relative to
gasoline are:
1. hydrocarbons - decreases for both MTBE and EtOH,
2. nitrogen oxides - no apparent effect for either oxygena ted fuel,
and
3. carbon monoxide - decreases for both MTBE and EtOH.
These general trends are also cons is ten t with the gasoline/" Ox inol"
test results. The oxygenated fuels produced no positive deviations for
hydrocarbon emissions and the two deviations shown for NO emissions
are very close to the average variation for replicate tests. x
One emiss ion anomaly shown in Table 2 requires discuss ion. Vehicle
B729 with MTBE shows a 29.4% increase for CO as compared to gasoline.
This vehicle was exceptionally hard to start and required triplicate
tests with MTBE. The CO levels produced by the independent tests were
5.1, 3.0, and 5.2 grams/ mile. Long cold starts for the first and third
tests produced high phase 1 emissions, but this did not account for the
difference between 3 and 5 grams / mile. Further analys is of the raw
data revealed consistently high CO emissions in phase 3 ( the hot start)
of the tests with MTBE as compared to either gasoline or the EtOH fuel.
The only conclusion supported by the data is that this vehicle, under
the test conditions and in its operating condition at the time, did
produce higher CO emiss ions with MTBE fuel than with gasol ine. The
author cannot offer a reasonable explanation for this anomaly.
Excepting the vehicle/ fuel anomaly discussed in the preceding
paragraph, the CO emissions with the oxygenated fuels are substantially
lower than those produced with gasoline. The average decreases
( percent change with respect to gasoline) for both MTBE and EtOH fuels
are larger than the corresponding average duplication variations.
Very little can be said about the single vehicle ( BC32) tested wi th
gasoline and an " Oxinol" type oxygenated blend other than the exhaust
emiss ion changes for the oxygenated fuel relative to gasoline agree
with the changes shown for the 5- vehicle X 3- fuel matrix discussed
above.
Extreme caution must be practiced when comparing test results from two
vehicles. The exhaust emissions from the propane fueled vehicle
(£ 3745), however, are impressively low when compared to the emissions
from a similar vehicle ( B729) operating on the liquid fuels.
- 5-
The dual- fueled gasoline/ CNG vehicle ( 3545) emiss ions are not
representative. Test results prompted an " after- the- fact" more
detailed inspection of the vehicle. Apparently, a faulty PCV valve had
caused engine oil to be drawn into the intake system. 80th the intake
air filter and the evaporative control canister were saturated with
engine oil. Comparing emissions from this vehicle, again with
reservations, to those from a similar vehicle ( 8511) leads to the
conclusion that the dual- fueled vehicle was operating fuel rich with
gasoline and exceptionally fuel rich with CNG. The significance of the
vehicle 8545 data lies in their value for demonstrating the high
evaporative emissions associated with an inoperative control canister
and the change in exhaust emissions associated with fuel rich operation
( exhaust NO is lowered, but HC and CO emiss ions increase: at some
point, to in~ olerable levels).
It is well known that the composition of exhaust hydrocarbon emissions.
is similar to the fuel hydrocarbon composition. The methane fractions
of vehicle 8545 exhaust hydrocarbon emissions were calculated and found
to average 7.9% with gasoline and 71.3% when the vehicle was fueled by
CNG. The large increase in the methane portion of the hydrocarbon
emissions is indicative of a decrease in reactivity with respect to
atmospheric smog formation.
Table 2 also con tains volumetric fuel economy ( FE) values. Since the
UDDS involves very little steady state operation at cruise speeds, the
FE magnitude is not directly relatable to user service. The values in
the table should, however, approximate the fuel economy of the vehicles
when opera ted in popula ted areas. The volumetric FE gains shown for
MT8E ( 8938) and for MTBE and EtOH ( 8511) resulted from two ( of twelve)
anomalous exhaust C~ levels. CO2 was low for one of the duplicate
tests of 8938 with MTBE fuel and high for one of the duplicate tests of
8511 wi th gasoline. The volumetric energy con tent of the oxygenated
fuels is slightly less than that of gasoline and a small corresponding
decrease in volumetric fuel economy should be expected. The 2.2%
average loss for the oxygenated fuels ( disregarding the values
discussed above) is reasonable.
The volumetric fuel economies for the vehicles operating on gaseous
fuels ( CNG and LPG) are given in gasoline equivalen ts based upon the
energy consumed. The energy charge density within the engine cannot be
main tained with carbureted gaseous fuels as compared to liquid fuels
( there is a volumetric efficiency loss); therefore, a fuel economy loss
is inevitable.
The fuel economy based upon energy content is given in Table 3 in terms
of 8TU consumption per mile traveled. These data show that there is
little, if any, difference in operating efficiency associated with the
use of any of the liquid fuels. Disregarding the three values
discussed earlier in conjunction with volumetric fuel economy, the
average change in fuel- energy economy was + 0.4% when the oxygenated
fu~ ls were used.

The Emissions Research Labora. tory of che ADEQ tes:: ed el. ght ( 8) selected
'/ eh i. e les from the ADOT al terna tive fuels fle'et tu determine the effect
of the alternative fuels upon evaporative and exhaust emissions.
Duplicate tests were performed for all vehicle/ fuel couples. Five ( 5)
' · , rehj. cles were tested wi th three ( 3) fuels ( unleaded ga. soline,
gasoline/ ll% MTBE, and gasoline/ 10% ethanol); one ( 1) vehicle was
tested with gasoline and gasoline/ 5% methanol/ 5% TBA; one ( 1) '.' ehicle
( dual- fueled) was tested wi th gasol ine and CNG; and one ( 1) vehicle
( dedicated) was tested with LPG.
For the 5- vehicle/ 3- fuel test matrix ( and tentatively the single
v'ehicle with gasoline/" Oxinol") the oxygenated fuel effects were: l.
no apparent effect on evaporative emissions, exhaust NO x ' or fuel-,
energy economy; and 2., decreases in exhaust HC, exhaust CO, and
volumetric fuel economy. A mechanical problem ( a faul ty PCV valve)
severely limited the value of the data obtained from the gasoline/ eNG
dual- fueled vehicle, but emissions from the dedicated LPG vehicle were
impressively low.

R4- 31- 714. Retail oxygenated fuel marketing
In any area with a mandatory minimum oxygen level during any specific
period of time the weight oxygen content of the oxygenated fuel being
dispensed from any dispenser shall be calculated by the department by using
the prescribed percent volume to percent oxygen formula as described in the
definition for oxygen content in this chapter.
R4- 31- 713. Blending requirements
To enable adjustments in noncompliance inventory and to preclude neat
oxygenate blending at the retail location no fuel shall be introduced into
a retail storage tank that contains more than 20 percent by volume of any
oxygenate. No fuel in the retail tank shall be allowed to exceed EPA
waiver requirements.

Prior to the introduction of any oxygenated fuel into a retail station
storage tank the following procedures shall be followed:
1. Prior to the introduction of any alcohol oxygenated fuel into a
reta i 1 station storage tank, the tank sha 11 be tested for the presence of
water and, if any water is detected, it shall be pumped from the tank and
properly disposed of.
2. Fuel filters approved for use with alcohol oxygenated fuels by the
manufacturer shall be installed in the fuel line of all dispensers that
will dispense alcohol blends.
3. The inventory of non- oxygenated fuel in the retail station storage
tank shall be reduced to a level that is less than 25 percent of the tank1s
maximum capacity before introducing the initial shipment of oxygenated fuel.
4. Each station shall maintain records at the retail location of the
two deliveries of fuel preceding the transition to, from or between
oxygenated fuels and the records of the fi rst two shi pments of the new
fuel. Such records shall be maintained at the retail station until the
third consecutive shipment of the new fuel has been received.
R4- 31- 716. Transitions
Special provisions shall apply to labeling requirements at the retail
level when a station is in transition to, from or between oxygenated
fuels. Retail labeling shall be deemed to be in a transition period prior
to delivery of the second consecutive shipment of the new fuel. Retail
maximums as established by EPA waiver shall not be exceeded, however, pump
labeling at a level higher than the fuel being dispensed shall be allowed
until receipt of the second shipment.

AIR qUALITY COMPLIANCE UPDATE
" The 1987 Carbon Monoxide State Implementation Plan Revision for the Tucson
Planning Area" ( SIP Revision) was approved by EPA on August 10, 1988.
Omnibus Air Quality Bills of 1987 ( S. B. 1360) and 1988 ( H. B. 2206) added
air quality programs to be implemented.
1987 ambient air quality modeling in the SIP Revision projects attainment of
the carbon monoxide standard in early 1990.
Aschedule for redesignation to " Attainment" for the Pima County Carbon
Monoxide Nonattainment Area has been tentatively set; showing application
to EPA in the summer of 1991.
Programs required for air quality compliance include commitments made in the
State Implementation Plan ( SIP), requirements of Arizona legislation ( LEG)
including S. B. 1360 ( 1360) and H. B. 2206 ( 2206) and local ordinances ( ORO)
as well as voluntary efforts ( VOL).
PROGRAMS
* State Inspection/ Maintenance Program ( LEG) expanded and strengthened ( 1360)
( 2206)
* Travel Reduction Program ( ORD){ SIP)
* Implement Short Range Transit Plan ( SIP)
* Implement Oxyfue1s Program ( 2206)
* Clean burning fuels evaluation programs ( 1360)
* Adjusted work hours ( 1360)
* Winter daylight savings time evaluation study ( 1360)
* Commitment to expanded bicycle paths, lanes and facilities ( 1360)( SIP)
* Traffic control signal synchronization ( 1360)
* Voluntary no- drive days program ( 2206)
* Permissive protected left turn ( Lag left) ( SIP){ VOL)
* RideShare Program ( VOL)( SIP)
* Park and Ride lots ( SIP){ VOL)
PROGRAMS ( cont.)

* Commitment to Long Range Modeling and Monitoring Program ( SIP)
* Revise the Regional Transportation Plan to include more weight to air
quality impacts - BAJA Project ( VOL)
* Develop Regional Comprehensive Land Use Plan ( VOL)
The effective programs and commitments that are required by the SIP and
implemented by state law and local ordinances must continue if Pima County
is to maintain air quality compliance in the long term. The PAG jurisdictions
are commited to do their part in assuring continued compliance with the
air quality standards. .

AUTHORITY AND SCOPE OF DUTIES
The Air Quality Compliance Advisory Committee ( Laws 1988, Chapter 252,
Section 15 · ) was established asa means of monitoring compliance with state air
quality laws. The current committee is actually a variation on the Committee
on Air Quality Compliance ( Laws 1987, Chapter 365, Section 27') which was part
of Senate Bill 1360 from 1987. The legislation establishing the original
committee was repealed ( Laws 1988, Chapter 252, Section 12 · ) because lawmakers
wanted to place the provision in statute ( A. R. S. § 49- 403 · ) rather than session
law as it had formerly appeared. The Committee's scope was also broadened so
that it now monitors compliance with all requirements under the 1988 air quality
legislation, rather than just those areas dealing with air pollution control.
Represented on the Committee are the ~ tate Legislature, the Maricopa and Pima
County Boards of Supervisors, the Phoenix and Tucson City Councils, the Phoenix
and Tucson Chambers of Commerce, the Department of Environmental Quality, and
the Governor, who appoints three members to the Committee.
The Air Quality Compliance Advisory Committee is repealed from and after
November 1, 1992 ( Laws 1988, Chapter 252, Section 16 · ). The duties of the
Committee are:
1. to monitor the compliance of this state and cities, towns and
counties of this state with the requirements of this chapter dealing
with air quality;
2. to develop a plan for business to adjust the work schedules of
employees in order to reduce the level of carbon monoxide ( CO)
concentrations caused by vehicular travel;
3. to evaluate the reports submitted pursuant to Sections 49- 404 · · and
49- 553 · , take public testimony and receive written comments on such
reports;
See appendix A.
A. R. S. § 49- 404 was repealed by Laws 1988, Ch 252, Sec. 16, par. 2.
4. to prepare a report to both houses of the Legislature. The report
shall include recommendations for any changes needed in the air
quality legislation.
Legislative staff must submit a report containing the number and nature
of complaints received regarding the Vehicle Emissions Inspection ( VEl) Program.'
COMMITTEE ACTIVITY
The Committee met once, on November 28, 1989, and received reports from
various agencies and industry spokespersons regarding compliance with state air
quality statutes. z The following agencies reported to the Committee:
Depar. tment of Environmental Quality ( DEQ)
DEQ distributed its annual briefing book, Reports to the Legislature3 which
highlights the Department's responsibilities under HB 2206, enacted in 1988.
William Watson, Manager of the Vehicle Emissions Section of the Office of
Air Quality for the DEQ, testified that calls related to the oxygenated fuels
program are down to seven per day from the 217 per day that were coming in at
the beginning of the program. Watson also said that, due to the oxygenated fuels
program, CO emissions are down by 20 percent. However, he added that nitrogen
oxide ( NO~) emissions will increase slightly from the use of oxygenated fuels.
A study prepared for the DEQ revealed several impediments to annual tailpipe
testing for NO~. The Department called for additional study before mandating
annual NO~ testing.
Ken Evans, Manager of the Air Quality Evaluation Unit of the DEQ, addressed

the subject of expanding the VEl program boundaries. The DEQ and the Arizona
Department of Transportation ( ADOT) conducted traffic surveys last winter to
determine the benefits of expanding the boundaries of the program. Their report
concluded that expanding the boundaries would result in immeasurable reductions
in CO and ozone pollution.
Regarding the effectiveness of the current VEl program, Watson told
Committee members that the implementation of the new loaded mode test has
resulted in failure patterns among certain models. Efforts are underway to get
makers of pattern- case failure vehicles to recall the failing vehicles so that
they may be repaired at no cost to the owners.
The Department reported progress in researching the air quality benefits
of alternative fuels and Reid Vapor Pressure controls.
The cost- benefit analysis required by A. R. S. § 49- SS3. A. S4 will be completed
by December, 1989.
Ken Evans informed the Committee that the only exceedance so far reported
during this CO season occurred recently. Most violations occur in the month of
October. According to Evans, the most effective tool for reducing CO violations
is to reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled.
In other reports, the DEQ said that " no installation of new traffic flow
improvement monitors would result in a lower number of violations" and, in
reference to the Department's toxic emissions analysis, Watson said that while
oxygenated fuels can reduce tailpipe emissions of benzene, aldehyde emissions
tend to increase with their use.
In closing, DEQ responded to co- chairman Jack B. Jewett's request to give
an overview of the procedure the Department took in selecting Gordon- Darby Inc.
4 See appendix A.

as the next VEl program contractor. Jewett asked whether a performance bond was
requi red of Gordon- Darby. Watson answered that a performance bond was not
required in the contract, but that the contractor would have to pay stiff daily
penalties for nonperformance. Representative Peter Goudinoff questioned Gordon­Darby's
ability to enter the contract at such a reduced price and then to promise
additional services. Watson said that Gordon- Darby uses modern technology which
would allow them to operate the program for less. Randy Wood, Director of DEQ,
and member of the Committee, added that Hamilton Test Systems, the current VEl
contractor, charges what they have to charge in order to support their
te€ hnology.
Arizona Department of Transportation ( ADaT)
Charl es Mi 11 er, Di rector of ADaT, summari zed the fi nd i ngs of the ADOT
Alternative Fuels Stud y5 required by A. R. S. § 49- 404. Miller said that there were
no reports of disintegrated parts or other fuel- related damage. ADOT found the
fuels to be readily available and at an insignificant increase in cost. The
Department finished its test this year with 79 of the original 90 vehicles. Some
vehicles were dropped from the study due to damage from accidents, testing
errors, etc. The vehicles were emissions tested through the state VEl program
operated by Hamilton Test Systems. The ADaT study reported only marginal
reductions in CO. However, Miller emphasized that ADaT's results do not conflict
with the DEQ's tests findings which show a 20% reduction in CO. He said that
the two agencies used two different processes. The Federal Testing Procedure
( FTP) used by the DEQ is much more rigorous than the state VEl test.

contained in appe~ ix E. A copy of the Alternative Fuels Study is
available from AC :-.

Maricopa Association of Governments ( MAG)
Lindy Bauer, Envi ronmenta1 Programs Coordi nator for MAG, di scussed the
status report on the three air quality plans, future MAG activities, and the most
recent air quality lawsuit.
Bauer said that MAG now bel ieves that the 22 percent reduction in CO
targeted for 1991 by the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) was " overly
optimistic." Though overall growth in the region has slowed, the number of
vehicle miles traveled has increased. The EPA approved the MAG CO plan on August
la, 1988, and said that the measures in the plan would allow us to maintain
curr. ent levels for 10 years.
According to Bauer, the latest air quality lawsuit attacks the EPA for
failing to consider the increase in the vehicle miles traveled in the MAG region
when approving the plan. Also, the delay in freeway construction may impact the
la- year maintenance plan for CO. The cities of Tucson and Phoenix are brought
under fire for neglecting to implement plans for transit, including increasing
the number of buses in their systems.
Bauer reported that the ozone plan was submitted in July, 1987, with no
commitment for Stage II Vapor Recovery. MAG has received a State Implementation
Plan ( SIP) call to prepare a new ozone plan two years after EPA finalizes the
proposed 1987 CO and ozone policy. To date, EPA has not gone final with the
ozone policy. The current status of the policy is unknown. According to Bauer,
the most difficult problem for MAG to work with is the particulate problem. A
34.4 percent reduction in PM- 10 emissions is needed by 1992 in order to attain
the particulate standard.
MAG's future activities include working with Maricopa County on its Trip
Reduction Ordinance ( TRO), the Brown Cloud Study, and updating the MAG Freeway
- 5 -
Plan.
In closing, Bauer informed Committee members that the federal government
is now considering a requirement that California's new car emissions standards
be applied to the entire country. These standards would be beneficial to the
carbon monoxide and ozone problem in Maricopa County.
Weights and Measures
In revi ewi ng the fi rst few weeks of the oxygenated fuel s program Di ck
Wolfe, Deputy Director of Weights and Measures, said state officials should have
encouraged the industry to make an earlier transition to the new fuels. The
Department reported 48 stop sale orders and 32 removal orders so far in the
program. Despite these problems, Wolfe said that compliance is high. He noted
that the majors have made smoother transitions and committed fewer violations
than their independent competitors. Wolfe provided Committee members with a copy
of Weights and Measures' Guidelines for Use and Sale of Motor Fuels and Petroleum
Products. 6
Arizona Petroleum Resources Group
Charles T. Stevens, · representing the Arizona Petroleum Resources Group,
a lobby comprised of the major oil companies marketing in Arizona, praised what
he called " a successful program." Stevens said that only a few start- up problems
were encountered in the initial weeks of the program. He explained that some
companies are blending the oxygenate with the fuel in California and shipping
it here while others are shipping the oxygenate and the neat gas to Arizona to
be either splash- blended or in- line blended here. The major oil companies did
not offer any suggestions for improving the legislation.

Atlantic Richfield Company ( ARCO)
Jim White, Manager of ARCO's Environmental Legislation and Regulation
division, spoke on his company's experience with the oxygenated fuels program
thus far. ARCO had received no fuel- related complaints during the two weeks
preceding the meeting of the Air Quality Compliance Advisory Committee and
reported no serious fuel- related problems to date. White said that ARCO remains
concerned over the negative press that is given to ethanol; he added that there
seems to be a misperception that one cannot switch from one oxygenate to another.
Pima Association of Governments ( PAG)
Hank Eyrich, Physical Planning Manag'er for PAG, gave an update on PAG's
air quality compliance programs. 7 Eyrich said that the most effective strategies
have been the expansion and strengthening of the VEl program and the
implementation of a travel reduction ordinance ( TRO). Pima County is marginal
in ozone and particulate pollution. Eyrich noted that PM- 10 is very difficult
to model.
Pima County
Marian Slavin, Travel Reduction Program Manager for Pima County, discussed
the Pima County TRO. 8 The DEQ provides about $ 250,000 in funds to the TRO. The
County reports that 120 major employers are involved with 90,000 employees at
154 sites. According to Slavin, 23 plans have been approved by the Travel
Reduction Program Task Force and have been sent for review by the lead agency.
Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce
According to Dan Cavanagh, Group Vice President of the Tucson Metropolitan
Chamber of Commerce, some complaints were lodged regarding the scope of the

Travel Reduction Program; however, he added that many businesses with under 100
employees participated voluntarily.
Maricopa County
Harvel Alishouse, Air Quality Advisor to the Maricopa County Department
of Publ ic Health, introduced the Maricopa County TRO program. According to
Alishouse, 52.5 million miles are traveled daily in the Valley. He said that
the plans of major employees are the first to be approved. Alishouse introduced
Suzanne Pfi ster of the Reg iona1 Pub1i c Transportat ion Authori ty, the
subcontractor of the program, to outline the details of the TRO.
Regional Publ ic Transportation Authority · ( RPTAl
Suzanne Pfister, Manager of Community Affairs, presented an update on the
TRO and the Clean Air Campaign. 9 RPTA's function is to provide technical and
administrative support to the County for its TRO program. Pfister said that
about 180,00 employees are represented in the program now. For every dollar
spent from the Air Quality fund, seven dollars were donated. One hundred and
forty- two thousand people took advantage of the free bus day October 18, 1989;
average ridership is 93,000 per day. The free bus day cost about 550,000 and
was funded by part of a grant from DEQ. The RPTA noted a 37 percent increase
in participation in the Clean Air Campaign this year, as well as a 97 percent
awareness rate.
Regarding the TRO, Pfister said that all businesses with 500 or more
employees have completed the survey process. One hundred and fifty employers
with 200- 400 employees are currently being surveyed.

perception of the TRO program. Hurst reported a varied response from the
industries. While large employers have been responsive, many of the smaller
employers have been reluctant. Hurst said that the Task Force's major goal is
to get smaller employers to work together more.

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
RE: Complaints on Vehicle Emissions Program
TO: Ken Heaton, Transportation Analyst
House of Representatives ,
FROM: William E. Watson, ManagerJt~ iU.~'
Vehicle Emissions Section t ~
Office of Air Quality
This information is submitted in response to your request to
Nancy Wrona dated November 22, 1989.
Another observation is that we receive complaints about unprofes­sional
discourteous behavior on the part of Hamilton Test Systems'
personnel. Again, these can be grouped into a minimum of two
categories of those who pass or fail the test. Most of the com­plaints
are associated with those who fail the test. A summary
of this activity is listed below:
Our records indicate that we receive approximately one complaint
per day on the average. However, many of these complaints are
associated with people who fail the emissions test for various
reasons and believe that the failure was an incorrect decision.
We often determine that the fail decision was accurate and after
obtaining additional information on the subject, explain this
to the caller.

I am pleased to provide the attached reports, which are being
submitted in accordance with provisions of HB 2206, enacted in
1988. That Bill required the Department to report annually to the
Legislature on seven issues related to urban air pollution. This
is the second installment on these reports, providing an update
over those submitted last year and an overview of our current state
of knowledge for the respective topics, as summarized below.
Wherever possible, we have provided a description of our plans for
future research, where appropriate.

uncertainties exist about the proper loaded test
procedure for pass/ fail standards;
NOx Feasibility:
The report reviews relevant testing programs in other
states, discusses the status of Federal new car standards
for NOx, and makes recommendations for future state
policy. Consistent with last year's reports, this one
documents several impediments to the implementation of
an annual tailpipe test for NOx:
This report was prepared under contract with Energy and
Environmental Analysis, Inc. The consultant has reviewed
the " benefits, test methods and feasibility" of requiring
emissions testing for diesel powered vehicles in general
and the options for testing gasoline and diesel powered
vehicles for nitrogen oxide ( NOx) emissions. NOx
emissions are of concern as they contribute to ozone
formation.

The repair industry is relatively uninformed about
the causes of high NOx emissions and types of
appropriate repairs, requiring considerable
training;
Accurate diagnoses and repair would require each
vehicle repair facility to invest over $ 10,000 in
a dynamometer and other equipment.
Expansion of I & M Area: A. R. S. § 49- 553. A. 2
This report provides an assessment of the expected
benefits of expanding the Vehicle Emissions Inspection
Program boundaries, based on traffic surveys conducted
last winter by ADEQ and ADOT. The report concludes that
expanding test boundaries to contiguous areas would
produce immeasurably small cuts in carbon monoxide and
ozone pollution.
I & M Effectiveness: A. R. S. § 49- 553. A. 3
This report, prepared by Energy and Environmental
Analysis, Inc. under contract, provides an in- depth
analysis of the benefits of the Vehicle Emission
Inspections program. As part of the analysis, EEA
examined the benefits of the new loaded mode test, and
the implications of the discovery that several models and
makes fail this test in disproportionate numbers. Nine
of the twelve failing vehicle families have already been
SUbject to an EPA recall for failure of emissions control
systems. The report concludes that these high failure
rates show that these vehicles were not repaired
properly. Because Arizona's " tailpipe" test identifies
these vehicles, the loaded test is effective in
ide~ tifying high polluters.
Air Quality Effects of the Arizona oxygenated Fuels
Program and Reid Vapor Pressure: A. R. S. § 49- 553. A. 4
This report discusses the current status of the new ADEQ
Vehicle Emissions Research Program and explains the
research design in use for assessing the impact of
oxygenated fuels on automobile emissions. Background
information on the issue of reducing gasoline volatility
or RVP standards as air quality strategy is also
provided.

Cost Benefit: A. R. S. § 49- 553. A. 5
The report submitted to the Legislature last year
determined that cost- benefit analysis would be very
expensive to perform and would not yield results useful
to policy makers. The Department, in its presentation
to the Air Quality Compliance Committee, suggested that
cost- effectiveness analysis would be a less expensive and
more beneficial approach to the question posed by the
Legislature. This suggestion was well received, and the
Department proceeded with a cost- effectiveness study.
Regretfully, we have been unable to complete this report
in time for this submittal. A draft report containing
cost effectiveness analysis for the vehicle emissions
program, oxygenated fuels, voluntary no- drive days, and
trip reduction programs will be completed by October 1,
1989. A final report including cost effectiveness
analysis for all carbon monoxide reduction programs
contained in A. R. S., Title 49, Chapter 3 will be
completed by December, 1989. This study is being
prepared under a contract with the U of A Center for
Business and Economic Research.
Causes of Violations at Monitors: A. R. S. § 49- 553. A. 6
This report provides an overview of Arizona Air Quality
Monitoring System and its relationship to the EPA
prescribed modeling. The relationship of local traffic
patterns to carbon monoxide violations is explained, and
anticipated ADEQ analysis of violation patterns is
discussed. Consistent with last year I s study, this
report documents that high carbon monoxide levels
represent a regional air quality problem. Furthermore,
no installation of new traffic flow improvement monitors
would result in lower number of violations.
The 1990 report may be a slightly expanded discussion or
may need to address new issues raised by the legislature.
Toxic Emissions Analysis: A. R. S. § 49- 553. B
This report is a comprehensive review of current research
on vehicular toxic emissions conducted throughout the
country. Initial conversations with EPA and engineering
consultants suggest that this type of research is in its
infancy at the national level and may be difficult to
conduct at the new ADEQ Emissions Research Lab. This
report also provides recommendations for conducting the
research at the DEQ Vehicle Emissions Research facility.
3
The report includes research showing that the use of
oxygenated fuel can reduce tailpipe emissions of benzene,
a known cancer causing compound. At the same time, the
use of these fuels will likely increase tailpipe
emissions of aldehydes, another carcinogen.
We expect to work closely with the Legislature and the Air Quality
Compliance Advisory Committee to ensure that our research will
provide the information you need for future policy decisions. We
would be pleased to have the comments or suggestions for future
reports, or to brief you on these issues.
Sincerely,

ADOT ALTERNATIVE r~ ELS FLEET -- EMISSION TEST PROGRAM
Phoenix, Arizona 85008
The Departmellt of ElIviroNPUlItal Quality is AlI EqW41 OpporrwlIity AffirmlJtive Actioll Employer.
An increas ing popu lat ion ( both human and vehicle) and corrcs pond lng
increases in various environmental pollutants has prompted the State of
Arizona to enact legislation establishing controls and mandating
research aimed at abatement. HE 2115 and SB 1360 mandated an
alternative- fuels fleet study to be performed by the Arizona De9artment
of Transportation ( ADOT), and HB 2206 mandated a vehicle emissions
study of a representative portion of the ADOT fleet to be performed by
the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality ( ADEQ).
By Frank W. Cox
October 24, 1989
The ADOT vehicle fleet was put into service in October of 1987 using
unleaded gasoline to gather baseline performance and I& M emission data.
In January of 1988 the use of the baseline gasoline was discontinued
and opera tion on the var ious al ternat ive fuels began. In February of
1989, after thirteen months of operation on the alternative fuels, the
ADEQ Emiss ions Research Laboratory ( ERL) began tes ting selected ADOT
fleet vehicles to determine' the effect, if any, of the alternative
fuels on evaporative and exhaust emissions as compared to these
emissions generated by the use of unleaded gasoline.
ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
This report contains the summarized data obtained from the ERL testing
and discussions of this data and the test methods.
The tes t vehicle fleet is listed in Table 1. The only vehicle type
included in the ADOT fleet which was not tested was the 1984 Chevrolet
510 pickup. This vehicle type was omitted from the test fleet because
of its s imilarity to the 1983 Chevrolet S10 pickup. In order to
directly compare fuel effects, vehicles 1 thru 5 were tested wi th
unleaded gasoline and two discreet oxygenated fuels, one containing
methyl tertiarybutyl ether ( MTBE) and the other containing ethanol
( EtOH) . Vehicle 6 was a gasoline/ CNG ( compressed na tural gas) dual­fueled
vehicle and was tested only with these two fuels ( no oxygenated
fuel subs t i tutcd for the gasoline). Vehicle 7 had been converted to
liquid petroleum gas ( LPG), was fuel dedicated, and could not be tested
with other fuels. The remaining vehicle ( 8) was tested with unleaded
gasoline and wi th a third oxygenated fuel containing methanol ( MeOH).
Vehic les 6, 7, and 8 were, with respect to emiss ion control sys tern and
to engine size and configuration, similar to vehicles 5,4, and J,
respectively.

Fuel samples were taken from the storage tanks at the ADOT fueling
depots. The criterion for acceptance for testing was that the RVPs of
the liquid fuels be similar. Fuels, 1,2, and 3 were judged to be
acceptable, but the. vapor pressure of the " Oxinol" blend was too low.
The entire supplies of fuels 1,2, and 3 were taken as single batches of
the individual fuels directly from the ADOT storage tanks into 55­gallon
drums and immediately sealed. The storage tanks from which the
tes t fuels were taken were the same as those from which the original
samples were obtained. The " Oxinol" test fuel was acquired after the
ADOT took delivery of a new batch. The vapor pressure of this fuel was
within the desired range.
Upon delivery, each vehicle fuel tank was removed and a drain line and
thermocouple were installed. The drain line was extended to the lowest
point of the tank and the thermocouple to the midpoint between the tank
bottom and the fuel surface at the 40% nominal fuel tank volume level.
Each tank was then pressurized to 3 psi air to ensure vapor tightness
and reinstalled on the vehicle.
Each vehicle was checked for engine vacuum leaks and faulty spark plugs
and spark plug wires. These were the only maintenance items replaced
when found to be faulty. Engine operatinq parameters were also checked
and, excepting the LPG and CNG vehicles, set to factory specifications.
Vehicle preparation was completed with checks of the exhaust system and
installed fuel tank for leaks. This was accomplished with the
instrument bench hydrocarbon analyzer by attaching a 3- port valve and
sniff line between the sample inlet and the analyzer.

At the end of testing, the thermocouple was removed from the fuel tank
and the fittings installed for the thermocouple and drain line were
capped.
With three exceptions, to be discussed below, the Federal Test
Procedure ( FTP) was used for all tests. The details of the procedure
are given in the Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR) Title 40, Part 86,
Subpart B. This reference also gives the details of the required
equipment, calibrations, and conditions.
One departure from the FTP concerned the ambient test temperature
limits. The FTP requires that the temperature to which the vehicle and
tes t equipmen t are exposed be main tained wi thin the 1 imi ts, 68 ° F to
86° F. Since the available test fuels were winter grade ( vapor
pressures at the lower end of volatility class D), the decision was
made tc test at lower than the specified ambient temperature range~ An
ambien t temperature range of 51 ° F to. 6.9 ° F was chosen ( a - 17 ° F offset
from the FTP) because 1. it was believed to be the lowest feas ible
range at which the facility could be maintained, 2. this range more
nearly simulates winter temperatures in Maricopa county, and 3. the
FTP specified temperatures would result in unrealistic canister loading
during the pretest soak period.
The diurnal ( or heat build) evaporative ( SHED) test is intended to
measure evaporative losses during a simulated diurnal ( daily)
temperature rise. Testing at lower ambient temperatures required that
the temperature range for the fuel heat build also be lowered.
Accordingly, this range was lowered 17° F from the FTP to 43° F- 67° F.
The FTP heat build ramp was maintained.
Preceding the 12- 36 hour soak period prior to testing, the FTP
stipulates that the fuel tank be drained, the vehicle refueled to the
required volume, and then driven on the dynomometer according to the
Urban Dynomometer Driving Schedule ( UDDS) and at the vehicle test
weight and horsepower. The UDDS is required within one hour of
refueling. The FTP allows up to three additional preconditioning
driving cycles, each preceded by a one hour soak period.
Since each ADOT test fuel was significantly different from the others,
and to minimize memory effects, a three- driving- cycle schedule was
adopted for preconditioning when the test fuel was different from the
preceding test. For back- to- back tests with the same fuel, the single
preconditioning driving cycle was used. The three- driving- cycle
schedule was:
1. drain and refuel
2. UDDS driving cycle within one hour of refueling
3. ten minute soak
4. UDDS driving cycle
S. one hour soak
6. drain and refuel
7. UDDS driving cycle.
- 3-
The soak period between the first and second driving cycles was reduced
to ten minutes to conserve time and the extra refueling was included as
an added measure to minimize memory effects of the previous fuel.
The fuel sequence was random beginning or ending the test series with
no particular fuel. For the first test, however, each vehicle was
preconditioned using the three- driving- cycle schedule.
At leas t two tes ts were performed wi th each vehicle / fuel couple. A
third test was performed when agreement between the duplicate tests was
judged to be inadequa te or when FTP limits were exceeded to a po in t
considered to be capable of producing significant effects on test data.
Results and Discussions
The resul ts of the emiss ions tes t program are presen ted in Table 2.
Except ing the SHED emiss ions for vehicle B545 in the eNG mode, each
emission value is the arithmetic average of at least duplicate tests,
and in some cases, triplicate tests. The number of vehicles was small
and little effort was exerted to verify mechanical condition or
emission control functionality. Therefore, no statistical evaluation
has been performed to determine the significance of data magnitude or
relativity. This discussion is based upon a general interpretation of
the data and the resulting conclusions reflect the opinion of the
author.
Evaporative emissions are primarily effected by 1. test temperature
( and temperature ramp), 2. fuel composition and volatility, 3. the
type and condition of the fuel handling system, and 4. the
configuration and condition of the evaporative emission controls.
Since both ambient and heat build tempera tures were lowered by 17 0 F
from the FTP, the SHED data can only be internally compared. The
magnitude of the evaporative emissions is significant only for
comparison of the various fuels with a single vehicle. Relative data
can, however, be compared across the vehicle/ fuel matrix. The fuel
vapor pressures given previously in this report would lead to a
tentative conclusion that the evaporative emissions from the gasoline
should be lower than from the al terna tive liquid fuels. The da ta,
however, do not support this conclusion. At face value, the data
indicate that essentially equivalent vapors are emitted from the MTBE
fuel as compared to gasoline and lower levels are emitted from the EtOH
fuel.
A number of parameters which influence evaporative emissions must be
considered. First, RVP is a measure of volatility at 100 0 F and the
rate of vapor pressure change as a function of temperature is not known
for the test fuels. In add it ion, the his tory and condition of the
control canisters is not known, and the average replicate variation of
all vehicle/ fuel couples was about 20%, a variability consistent with
literature values. These uncertainties leave little doubt that no
conclusion can be drawn with respect to the effect of fuel composition
upon evaporative emissions.

The repeatability of the exhaust measurements was much better than that
for evaporative emissions. The average replicate variations for all
vehicle/ fuel couples were about 8.5% for hydrocarbons, 7.0% for
ni trogen oxides, and 12.5% for carbon monoxide. Actual fuel vapor
pressure and vapor control canister condition cannot be ignored as
exhaust emission variables, but their effects should be less prominent
with respect to exhaust emissions as compared to evaporative emissions.
For the group of five vehicles tested with gasoline, MTBE, and EtOH
fuels: the emission trends for the oxygenated fuels relative to
gasoline are:
1. hydrocarbons - decreases for both MTBE and EtOH,
2. nitrogen oxides - no apparent effect for either oxygena ted fuel,
and
3. carbon monoxide - decreases for both MTBE and EtOH.
These general trends are also cons is ten t with the gasoline/" Ox inol"
test results. The oxygenated fuels produced no positive deviations for
hydrocarbon emissions and the two deviations shown for NO emissions
are very close to the average variation for replicate tests. x
One emiss ion anomaly shown in Table 2 requires discuss ion. Vehicle
B729 with MTBE shows a 29.4% increase for CO as compared to gasoline.
This vehicle was exceptionally hard to start and required triplicate
tests with MTBE. The CO levels produced by the independent tests were
5.1, 3.0, and 5.2 grams/ mile. Long cold starts for the first and third
tests produced high phase 1 emissions, but this did not account for the
difference between 3 and 5 grams / mile. Further analys is of the raw
data revealed consistently high CO emissions in phase 3 ( the hot start)
of the tests with MTBE as compared to either gasoline or the EtOH fuel.
The only conclusion supported by the data is that this vehicle, under
the test conditions and in its operating condition at the time, did
produce higher CO emiss ions with MTBE fuel than with gasol ine. The
author cannot offer a reasonable explanation for this anomaly.
Excepting the vehicle/ fuel anomaly discussed in the preceding
paragraph, the CO emissions with the oxygenated fuels are substantially
lower than those produced with gasoline. The average decreases
( percent change with respect to gasoline) for both MTBE and EtOH fuels
are larger than the corresponding average duplication variations.
Very little can be said about the single vehicle ( BC32) tested wi th
gasoline and an " Oxinol" type oxygenated blend other than the exhaust
emiss ion changes for the oxygenated fuel relative to gasoline agree
with the changes shown for the 5- vehicle X 3- fuel matrix discussed
above.
Extreme caution must be practiced when comparing test results from two
vehicles. The exhaust emissions from the propane fueled vehicle
(£ 3745), however, are impressively low when compared to the emissions
from a similar vehicle ( B729) operating on the liquid fuels.
- 5-
The dual- fueled gasoline/ CNG vehicle ( 3545) emiss ions are not
representative. Test results prompted an " after- the- fact" more
detailed inspection of the vehicle. Apparently, a faulty PCV valve had
caused engine oil to be drawn into the intake system. 80th the intake
air filter and the evaporative control canister were saturated with
engine oil. Comparing emissions from this vehicle, again with
reservations, to those from a similar vehicle ( 8511) leads to the
conclusion that the dual- fueled vehicle was operating fuel rich with
gasoline and exceptionally fuel rich with CNG. The significance of the
vehicle 8545 data lies in their value for demonstrating the high
evaporative emissions associated with an inoperative control canister
and the change in exhaust emissions associated with fuel rich operation
( exhaust NO is lowered, but HC and CO emiss ions increase: at some
point, to in~ olerable levels).
It is well known that the composition of exhaust hydrocarbon emissions.
is similar to the fuel hydrocarbon composition. The methane fractions
of vehicle 8545 exhaust hydrocarbon emissions were calculated and found
to average 7.9% with gasoline and 71.3% when the vehicle was fueled by
CNG. The large increase in the methane portion of the hydrocarbon
emissions is indicative of a decrease in reactivity with respect to
atmospheric smog formation.
Table 2 also con tains volumetric fuel economy ( FE) values. Since the
UDDS involves very little steady state operation at cruise speeds, the
FE magnitude is not directly relatable to user service. The values in
the table should, however, approximate the fuel economy of the vehicles
when opera ted in popula ted areas. The volumetric FE gains shown for
MT8E ( 8938) and for MTBE and EtOH ( 8511) resulted from two ( of twelve)
anomalous exhaust C~ levels. CO2 was low for one of the duplicate
tests of 8938 with MTBE fuel and high for one of the duplicate tests of
8511 wi th gasoline. The volumetric energy con tent of the oxygenated
fuels is slightly less than that of gasoline and a small corresponding
decrease in volumetric fuel economy should be expected. The 2.2%
average loss for the oxygenated fuels ( disregarding the values
discussed above) is reasonable.
The volumetric fuel economies for the vehicles operating on gaseous
fuels ( CNG and LPG) are given in gasoline equivalen ts based upon the
energy consumed. The energy charge density within the engine cannot be
main tained with carbureted gaseous fuels as compared to liquid fuels
( there is a volumetric efficiency loss); therefore, a fuel economy loss
is inevitable.
The fuel economy based upon energy content is given in Table 3 in terms
of 8TU consumption per mile traveled. These data show that there is
little, if any, difference in operating efficiency associated with the
use of any of the liquid fuels. Disregarding the three values
discussed earlier in conjunction with volumetric fuel economy, the
average change in fuel- energy economy was + 0.4% when the oxygenated
fu~ ls were used.

The Emissions Research Labora. tory of che ADEQ tes:: ed el. ght ( 8) selected
'/ eh i. e les from the ADOT al terna tive fuels fle'et tu determine the effect
of the alternative fuels upon evaporative and exhaust emissions.
Duplicate tests were performed for all vehicle/ fuel couples. Five ( 5)
' · , rehj. cles were tested wi th three ( 3) fuels ( unleaded ga. soline,
gasoline/ ll% MTBE, and gasoline/ 10% ethanol); one ( 1) vehicle was
tested with gasoline and gasoline/ 5% methanol/ 5% TBA; one ( 1) '.' ehicle
( dual- fueled) was tested wi th gasol ine and CNG; and one ( 1) vehicle
( dedicated) was tested with LPG.
For the 5- vehicle/ 3- fuel test matrix ( and tentatively the single
v'ehicle with gasoline/" Oxinol") the oxygenated fuel effects were: l.
no apparent effect on evaporative emissions, exhaust NO x ' or fuel-,
energy economy; and 2., decreases in exhaust HC, exhaust CO, and
volumetric fuel economy. A mechanical problem ( a faul ty PCV valve)
severely limited the value of the data obtained from the gasoline/ eNG
dual- fueled vehicle, but emissions from the dedicated LPG vehicle were
impressively low.

the carbon monoxide standard in early 1990.
Aschedule for redesignation to " Attainment" for the Pima County Carbon
Monoxide Nonattainment Area has been tentatively set; showing application
to EPA in the summer of 1991.
Programs required for air quality compliance include commitments made in the
State Implementation Plan ( SIP), requirements of Arizona legislation ( LEG)
including S. B. 1360 ( 1360) and H. B. 2206 ( 2206) and local ordinances ( ORO)
as well as voluntary efforts ( VOL).

* State Inspection/ Maintenance Program ( LEG) expanded and strengthened ( 1360)
( 2206)
* Travel Reduction Program ( ORD){ SIP)
* Implement Short Range Transit Plan ( SIP)
* Implement Oxyfue1s Program ( 2206)
* Clean burning fuels evaluation programs ( 1360)
* Adjusted work hours ( 1360)
* Winter daylight savings time evaluation study ( 1360)
* Commitment to expanded bicycle paths, lanes and facilities ( 1360)( SIP)
* Traffic control signal synchronization ( 1360)
* Voluntary no- drive days program ( 2206)
* Permissive protected left turn ( Lag left) ( SIP){ VOL)
* RideShare Program ( VOL)( SIP)

* Commitment to Long Range Modeling and Monitoring Program ( SIP)
* Revise the Regional Transportation Plan to include more weight to air
quality impacts - BAJA Project ( VOL)
* Develop Regional Comprehensive Land Use Plan ( VOL)
The effective programs and commitments that are required by the SIP and
implemented by state law and local ordinances must continue if Pima County
is to maintain air quality compliance in the long term. The PAG jurisdictions
are commited to do their part in assuring continued compliance with the
air quality standards. .
